Antonio Vitali (1909 – 2008) was a Swiss toy designer known for creating beautifully sculpted and rounded, handmade wooden toys, with simplicity and texture that satisfy at a sensual and emotional level. In addition to his own workshops in Zurich, Sornico (Valle Maggia, Switzerland) and then in NYC, he had a long relationship with the toy companies Creative Playthings in the US, Naef of Switzerland, Ravensburger of Germany and NikiTiki of Japan.
